CN Tower lights up on May 5 for World PH Day!CN Tower, 301 Front Street West, Toronto ON M5V2T6 Canada

On May 5, 2014 the CN Tower lights purple and white for World Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Day. A standard light show will run for 8 minutes at the top of every hour. Please note the lighting will begin at sunset, however it won’t become fully visible until the sky darkens sufficiently approximately 30 minutes later.

The CN Tower is an awe-inspiring architectural and engineering wonder of the world that is a symbol of pride for Toronto residents, Ontario residents and all Canadians. The Tower’s new lighting system is designed to architecturally enhance the CN Tower structure from bottom to top, providing elegant night time illumination honouring the legacy of this national icon and landmark.
